Torallwwm ztmag/ con m A Be it lrfnown that I, oRRIs BAXTER, a citizen o the Unitg i Steubenville, in the cfbli State of Ohio, have invented certain n and useful Improvements-in Tires, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings. This invention relates to certain improvements in tires and it is an objectof the invention to provide a novel and improved core which may be readily and conveniently applied toa tire casing of a well known type in order to produce a cushion tire.

rlhe invention consists in the details of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts of my improved tire whereby certain important advantages are attained and the device is rendered simpleig. less expensive and other# wisel more convenient and advantageous for use, all as will be hereinafter more fully Set forth. v

The novel features of the invention will hereinafter be definitely claimed.

In order that my invention may be the better understood, I will now proceed to describe the same with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein- Figure l is a transverse sectional view taken through a tire constructed in accordance with an embodiment of my invention and in applied position; and

Fig. 2 is a fragmentary view in'perspective of my improved core as lterein embodied.

As disclosed in theJ accompanying drawings, C denotes a tire casing of any ordinary or preferred type and which is generally employed in connection with inner tubes, and positioned within said casing is an annular core A formed of soft rubber and which has its opposite side faces provided with the annular depressions or grooves 1, while the peripheral portion of4 the core A intermediate the grooves l is adapted to be secured, as at 2, by cement or other adhesive material to the inner wall of the casing C at the tread portion thereof. As is particularly illustrated in Fig. l, it is to be noted that the tread or connected portion of the core A is of a width substantially equal to the tread portion. of the casing C and that the annular depressions or grooves 1 are of a widthl substantially equal tothe side faces of the casing C'. It is also @Se@Saatuwfeeeebeneevaaeewdniahagnnunr -A will be eectively maintained in applied position.

It is also to be noted that .the inner portion of the core A extends between the free margins of the casing C and is adapted to contact directly with the rim R of a Wheel so that the pressure on the core when the tire is under load will be directly between the of the wheel.

From the foregoing description, it is thought to be obvious that a tire constructed in accordance with my invention is of an extremely simple and, comparatively inexpensive nature and is particularly well adapted for use by reason of the convenience and facility with which it may be assembled,

vand it will also be obvious that my. invention issusceptible of some change and modification without material departure from the principles and spirit thereof andfor as limiting myself to theH precise arrangement and formation of the several parts -herein shown in carrying out my invention 1n practlce, except as hereinafter claimed.

this reason I. do not wish to be understood.

edges of the recesses being of a width substantially equal to the width of the tread portion of the casing and secured to the inner face of the tread portion, each of the annular recesses of the corebeing of a width substantially equal to the width of f the adjacent side of the casing, the inner portions of the core intermediate the innery edges ofthe annular recesses and the inner 80 I tread` portion of the casing C and the rim y eser AVM/ieu?.
